Brats Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Some of the interviews were entertaining and laced with nostalgia. But what Andrew McCarthy is predominantly interested in exploring is how a cover article in the New York magazine, and more specifically the “Brat Pack” moniker from said article, stunted the careers and development of this talented group of young stars. And while some of the stars in the cohort do validate McCarthy’s hypothesis to an extent, it becomes very clear that McCarthy himself was deeply affected by this label (moreso than others) and more than likely his career did suffer as a result of it. And I feel like he comes close a couple times to the stark realization….that it didn’t have to. Demi Moore in particular gave him the biggest doses of truth. Solid soundtrack though.
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025A few decent interviews are inside here, but maybe Andrew McCarthy wasn't the best to lead the charge on this subject. It might of been better for somebody on the outside to have made this instead of somebody who just agrees to everything being said and not really adding anything to it. Love the time period and these movies, but didn't get a whole lot out of this.
